Lobster for Tea

[The Great Wallsendo]

Caught myself a size Lobby today...kept it for the pot, any quick and easy recipes? (the quicker the better really as the pans on the boil as I type this )

boil it no longer than 10mins unless its a monster

stick it in the fridge, let it chill for a couple of hours before dressing it

chop the meat, add lime juice, black pepper and a few chilli flakes

pile it on top of shredded lettuce bit more lime juice and get stuck in

do you put lobster in from the start ie when water is cold and bring to the boil and then boil for ten minutes if you understand what i am saying ??.

Do you not torture it like the celeb chefs , by stabbing it between the eyes, or jamming a skewer up it's jacksie.

god no!

tried it once on a crab, it was a big un mind you, claws bigger than my hands

shoved a muckle big dive knife right between its eyes... It pulled the knife back out and would let go of it! got a photo os it somewhere waving a knife around in one hand a potato masher in the other, don't why I gave it a tattie masher, possibly to temporarily confuse it so I could get the knife back off it

when it did let go, moved it over to the pan, which was the biggest I could find. it splayed its legs out so I couldn't get the thing in the pan in a you're not putting me in there stylee (can't blame it like)

so thought right I'll drop it in upside down, which I did and slammed the lid on

it kicked the lid off!

hat to hold the lid on for about 10 seconds before it, err... relaxed a bit!

off to hunt for pics of it now

do you know why they have rubber bands on their nippers




















to stop them turning the gas off

Another tip is to make sure the poor critter gets fully submerged straight away, you wouldn't it's tail thrashing boiling water all over especially if ya standing there with no top on :red:
